Originally known as the "Crown Inn," and traced back to as early as 1717.
Also known at one time as "Jack's Bar." Now know as
"Jackson's Wharf."
Crown Hotel was an inn as early as 1721, but the premises could be much
older. It was rated at £8 in 1759, and is the only former Cobbs pub in the
town proper which was still trading in the 1980s.
Looking at the stone on the building it appears that it must have been
rebuilt in 1853.

Thanet Times, Tuesday 11 May, 1965.
He comes from where the cider apples grow.
A man who hails from the Cider county of Somerset is Mr. Walter
Andrew Cottle, who has been the cheerful licensee of the "Crown
Hotel," York Street, Ramsgate, for the past 16 years.
Mr. Cottle, when he left school, took an apprenticeship in
butchering. Moving from Somerset, he carried on in the trade at
Watford for 22 years before he moved to Ramsgate in 1948 and took
over the "Crown."
"I like the licensing trade and like Ramsgate. I would not move
from either now," said Mr. Cottle.
One reason why Mr. Cottle has taken Ramsgate so much to heart is
that he has a king fisherman. Proving the point are photographs
ranged around the bar of the "Crown" showing Mr. Cottle with some of
his prize catches.
His best catch to date is a 22lb 10oz cod and the photograph of
this prize landing commands a special position over the bar.
Besides fishing, Mr. Cottle is a keen shooting man who enjoys
going into the county with his 12-bore shotgun.
But Mr. Cottle's hobbies always take second place to his business
at the "Crown," and especially at the moment with enlargements and
construction alterations taking place in the hotel.
A family man with a son and two daughters, Mr. Cottle has the
proud boast of being a grandfather 7 times over.

Come 2017, after being renamed on numerous occasions, the building has
again reverted to its original name of the "Crown."
